Water Margin people

"Chief Nong, why don't we continue to siege the city!"

A chieftain spoke up.

"Besiege the city? What's the point of besieging it if you can't get in?"

Nong Wu roared. What he wanted was a plan to break the city, not this bad idea.

"Chief Nong, the situation is different this time. The Emperor of Qi is ambitious and has summoned all the people from the surrounding areas into the city. There are probably hundreds of thousands of people in the city now. They can't hold out for long!"

The chieftain said immediately.

"Haha, that makes sense!"

Nong Wu was overjoyed after hearing this. He understood it after this analysis.

"Besides, what about those Arabs? Aren't they coming over yet?"

Nong Wu looked at the chieftain again and said coldly, it was this chieftain who contacted the Arabs, and now only they have come.

"I'll go and urge them right away!"

The chieftain immediately arranged for people to go to the port to urge them.

At this time in Guangzhou Port, a group of thieves were laughing wildly. They looted a lot of things, enough to fill all the ships. For the thieves, this was the biggest gain.

Xin Yiluo gritted his teeth and looked at these thieves. These people were even worse than the Arabs. They were truly blinded by money.

"Chief, the chieftain has sent someone to urge us!"

A foreigner came running to report.

"Hurry up and make these people stop. Let's attack Guangzhou City!"

Xin Yiluo shouted to several bandit leaders around him.

"I'm afraid that won't work! According to our rules, we won't stop until we've plundered enough after entering the port. Also, why didn't you tell us that this is an empty port? There's not even a woman here!"

A one-eyed pirate looked at Xin Yiluo and spoke.

"Liu Fu, there are hundreds of thousands of people in Guangzhou, and countless treasures and beauties. If we take Guangzhou, won't we have everything?"

Xin Yiluo pointed in the direction of Guangzhou City and spoke.

"Haha, Guangzhou City. After we have looted this place, we will naturally go to Guangzhou City!"

The pirate named Liu Fu laughed loudly. Pirates are not stupid. They all know Guangzhou City. It is a strong city. How can it be so easy to attack? They don't want to fight to the death in the city. Let those chieftains fight for a while, and then they will pick up the leaks when they are almost done.

Although Xin Yiluo was so angry that he stamped his feet, he could do nothing but wait until these bandits had looted enough.

The bandits continued to cause trouble at the port until the afternoon, then stopped and headed towards Guangzhou City with satisfaction.

By the time these bandits arrived at the outskirts of Guangzhou, the sun had already set and it would be dark in less than two hours.

“Is this your cooperation?”

Nong Wu stared at Xin Yiluo. These Arabs were really untrustworthy.

"Hey, Chief, these are pirates on the sea. They don't have any military discipline, but their fighting power is still strong..."

Xin Yiluo looked at Nong Wu and said nice things to him.

"It's getting late today, let's set up camp here!"

Nong Wu shouted to his tribesmen that it was getting dark and it would be disadvantageous for them to attack the city, so they could only set up camp and rest.

"Rest. We don't have any tents, so we'll go back to the port to rest and come back tomorrow!"

When Liu Fu and others heard that they needed to take a break, they immediately ordered everyone to go back. However, they saw the corpses under the city and the sturdy city of Guangzhou. They knew that this city would be difficult to attack.

Xin Yiluo was so angry watching the two parties disperse, but he could only hold his anger. "Send a report to His Majesty Sanjar, saying that we have besieged the Emperor of Qi in the Central Plains. Qi has just defeated the Song Dynasty and the country is unstable. The Seljuk Empire can send troops to occupy this place."

  Xin Yiluo looked at a confidant beside him and said, Sanjar is the son of Sultan Malik Shah I, the Seljuk king of this generation!

Xin Yiluo was disappointed with the bandits and chieftains. He felt that the Arabs were more reliable. It would be better to send people back to get reinforcements, which would arrive in a few months.

"Yes!"

The man took the order and left.

Tens of thousands of bandits returned to the port and went to enjoy themselves in the houses. Although they did not rob women this time, they stole a lot of food and wine. They were going to have a good meal tonight.

The excited bandits didn't notice that the port was a little different. There were many more jars and pots around the houses, and there was a large amount of dry firewood around.

There were also some problems with the ships in the port. The rudders were damaged to varying degrees, the oars were broken, and the cables on the masts were cut by sharp blades, leaving only a thread that would break with a single pull.

These ships are no longer able to sail. It is not difficult to repair them, but it is impossible to repair them within a few days.

The bandits were completely unaware of all this; they just drank from the wine jars, ate the barbecue, and joked crazily until they fell asleep in the middle of the night.

"Get ready to take action!"

Wang Jin's voice rang out in the darkness outside the port.

Spots of fire lit up outside the port, those were arrows with burning arrowheads.

Rockets flew towards Guangzhou Port, and with clanging sounds, the arrows shot through the cans hidden next to the houses. The kerosene inside was instantly ignited, and Guangzhou Port turned directly into a sea of ​​fire.

"what happened?"

Liu Fu, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by shouting and flames. He rushed out with a sharp knife, but the situation outside made him despair. There were people running everywhere, and the houses in the entire Guangzhou Port were on fire. Many people had been burned by the fire and jumped into the sea, howling.

"No, enemy!"

These words suddenly appeared in Liu Fu's mind. The Guangzhou Port was looted by them and there was no one inside. Even if someone accidentally set the house on fire, it would be impossible for the entire port to be set on fire at once. Someone must have set the fire.

"Get aboard!"

Liu Fu roared. He didn't know where the enemy was in the dark, and he didn't dare to explore. Facing the fire, it would be safer to get on the boat and go to the sea.

The bandits desperately ran to the ship. They tried to steer the boat out of the port, but when they tried to raise the sail, the cable broke and the sail could not be raised at all.

"The cable's broken!"

"Oh no! The oars are broken!"

"The rudder is uncontrollable!"

"The ship can't move!"

Shouts were heard one after another between the ships, and all the ships were unable to move.

The fire had already engulfed the entire Guangzhou Port, and those bandits who did not have time to escape were burned to death.

A large number of torches appeared on the banks on both sides of the harbor, and soldiers lined up waiting.

The horn sounded, and huge ships with lights on appeared on the sea outside the port, directly blocking the port's exit.

"How is it possible that the Qi State's giant warship is possible!"

Liu Fu watched all this in disbelief. They had seen with their own eyes the giant Qi warships go to the Qizhou Ocean, so how could they possibly return to Guangzhou Port?

"Change to a small boat and rush out!"

Liu Fu roared loudly. The bandits under his command were already scared out of their wits. The port turned into a sea of ​​fire. There were large armies guarding the shores on both sides. Only the area outside the port was safe. If the big ships couldn't go, they could use the small boats. As long as they rushed out, they would have a chance to survive.

"kill!"

At Ruan Xiaoqi's command, the giant ships rushed directly into the port, completely blocking the escape route for these bandits. Huge iron nets were also set up between the giant ships. (End of this chapter)
